WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
Responsibility of Employers for the Fall
ure of Female Clerks.

Business men and heads of Govern
ment departments have sometimes said
to me that they have tried women
clerks, found them unsatisfactory, and
have given up the experiment. Their
objections are, that women are inclined
to ask and accept favors, and to excuse
themselves for shortcomings, and that,
they, the employers, find it difficult and
unpleasant to "bring women to time"
and demand the exact and prompt per-
formance by them of all their duties,
such as would be required of man in
the same place.
There is no excuse for any woman
who takes this line of action, when she
has secured work. She should know
that every time she asks for hall
hours leave of absence, every time she
comes into the Office late, every time she
excuses herself, with smile. or worse
yet, tear, for some piece of careless.
ness, she is injuring not only her own
chances of earning livelihood, but
those of all other women who have to
go out into the world to earn bread.
But l have never failed, when op-
portunity offered, to point out to those
who SO frankly gave me their objec-
tions to women clerks, that upon the
employers themselves rested fully half
of the responsibility for the failure.
To my questions: Ibid you really
take pains TO engage an intelligent,
industrious woman, expecting of her
the same work you would have ex-
pected of man, and letting her know
it, and did you offer the wages or
dinarily paid to man, with the un-
derstanding that she should do the
same work as would have been re-
quired of a man in the same placer"
the reluctant answer has nearly al
ways been, mo"
He who expects little of servant
will get little, usually; and he who
gives half pay will get half service.
For the hundreds of women who have
at some time in their lives worked, in
a slip-shod fashion. in some Office for a
little while, all the time kindly treated
by their employers but who found
themselves suddenly dismissed some
bright morning, without explanation,
it may be, these objections to women
clerks, made by friendly men, often,
should furnish food for reflection.
And as for the hundreds of official:
and business men who have at some
period in their lives engaged some
woman to work for them because she
would work cheaper than a man, and
then never clearly explained her dutie:
to her, expecting and demanding very
little of her. excusing her faults and
carelessness, until at last, with patience
worn out they have discharged hel
without telling her the reason, and
then ever after have vowed thai

MARRIAGES In ENGLAND.
Established Customs Surrounding
a Happy Event.
Reading the Bans in Church-Bridesmsids
and Flowers-Marriage Settlements
The Brides Coach-The Wedding
Breakfast-Gifts-w Rule.

The history of wedding customs. the
folk lore, the observances-these form
a most fascinating chapter to the stu
dent of men and manners in this his
toric old metropolis. The word 'wed-
ding" is Anglo-Saxon and means "a
pledge" this pledge being the ring,
and circle of gold is bestowed by the
man to signify that he viii perform his
part of the contract. The old En-
glish wedding-ring is an exceedingly
narrow, almost thread-like band of
gold. Guinea gold. as that of deep
yellow hue is called, is the metal used.
Each ring is marked inside with the
symbols of the goldsmiths' hall; hence
the expression "hall-markedh gold or
silver. Heavy penalties are prescribed
for counterfeiting this mark. 1t was
at one time a capital offense, but now
penal servitude is the punishment in
fiicted.
When a young woman here is about
to marry, if she be not married at a
registrars office, her bans are called
in church on three successive Sundays
She must be called in church, else the
contract will have to be ratified by the
registrar. A residence in the parish of
some weeks is necessary to entitle the
contracting parties to have the cere-
mony performed in the parish church.
II the man and the woman live in diff
ferent parishes, the bans of each must
be called at the same time in their re-
spective parishes 1t is regarded as
unlueky for a prospective bride and
groom TO hear their own bans read
out They must, however. each be
represented bY friend.

lated Snug Fortune.
1t is interesting to know that among
the occupations which are opened to
women the hard life of ranching has
been one in which she has been par
ticularly successful. The very hard
ships are said to have a fascination for
one who has bit of love of adventurei in
her nature, and some women bred here
in the East have this generally sup
posed to be masculine trait strongly
developed. A good horsewoman with
courage and endurance can find vast
field for her out-of-door mclinations in
managing a cattle ranch, or even q
sheep ranch for that matter II a
ranchwoman is successful it is for
the same reason that the ranch
man is successful-because of en-
ergy, the possession of capital, and
hard work against countless discour-
agements and sacrifices. There is no
royal road to fortune either East OF
West. l have in mind as an instance
OF successful cattle-raiser lady who
had spent much of her freshness in the
gayeties of the representative social
center of the country. When she be-
came the wife of an army officer she
learned the valuable lesson of adapting
herself to circumstances. In this way she
received an education which was to fit
her to become one of the most successful
ranch-owners of the Southwest, when,
on the death of her husband, she found
herself alone in the world with mod
est capital There is no suggestion in
the wholesome, robust successful
rsnchwoman of that delicate hot-house
flower which was the picture of her
first youth. Post
